On Saturday, I analysed the possibility of devolution returning (https://t.co/rKuh3YCqNf). In response, DUP MP Ian Paisley has published a series of untrue allegations about me & brought into it my character & my school. A DUP Cllr has widened it to my apolitical elderly parents.

I believe in robust free speech & people can of course dismiss my analysis (or even my socks) as wildly mistaken. But what I write is my honest professional – not personal – opinion. Sincere thanks to @Seamusdo, the NUJ & others for their support. https://t.co/3nkm5wjDMi
